A geological wonder 4x4 adventure
This is an intriguing journey of discovery where you will be immersed in the geological treasures of Milos.
It’s a tour to stimulate the mind, body and soul. Milos emerged from the sea during a volcanic eruption, so it is little surprise this southernmost island in the Cyclades is a breathtaking geological wonder as well as one of the most beautiful places on earth.
We travel by 4x4 and go where conventional vehicles cannot. We can see, feel and hear the real Milos.
You will be awestruck by this experience, based on the Mediterranean Geo Walks, an extensive network of seven stunning paths. Our tour includes a short guided visit to the Milos Mining Museum, an outdoor experience allowing us to learn more about the mining history of the island thanks to a team of cartographers, historians, forestry experts, geologists and mining engineers, together with the help of a lecturer from the museum.
There’s the chance to see the Obsidian Collection of Zafeiris Vaos. It consists of artifacts made of obsidian, an igneous rock characteristic of Milos, and forms a very important chapter in the archeology of early Aegean tool-making. Then we will experience the abandoned salt fields, the thermal waters of Kanava (weather permitting), the crater of Fyriplaka and the fumaroles of Kalamos.
There are also the famous sulphur mines and Aggeria, one of the biggest open bentonite mines in the world.
This is an exclusive tour with a maximum of four people in each vehicle. And it’s a real sensory experience.
